A proposal to plop a 22 story glass tower on top of the Parke-Bernet gallery building on Fifth Avenue has stirred no small controversy. The battle lines are being drawn with the likes of Tom Wolfe, various Mellons and others on the non-tower side and Anna Wintour, and others supporting the avant garde design of Sir Norman Foster. Having not seen the design, I cannot draw an immediate conclusion. As usual, however, Wolfe has not been at a loss for waord, calling the project the "Mondo Condo" and chiding the toothless Landmarks Commission for its "bungee principles." Whatever happens, this will be an interesting fight to watch.
